Recognition on Maternal Axillary Odors by Infants.
Cernoch, Jennifer M.; Porter, Richard H.
Child Development, v56 n6 p1593-98 Dec 1985
Displaying no evidence of recognizing the axillary odors of their fathers, breastfed infants discriminated between their mother's axillary odor and odors produced by nonparturient or unfamiliar lactating females. Bottle-fed infants appeared unable to recognize the odor of their mother when presented along with odors from a nonparturient female or an unfamiliar bottle-feeding female. (Author/RH)
